Description
Akihiro Kojima and colleagues report, in 2026, two cases of hernia through a surgery port hole after robot-assisted prostate removal, plus a new way to prevent them. Such hernias are rare yet serious and need repair surgery.
Both cases arose in 2024 among 73 robot prostate operations at their center, where a 12-mm port had sat. Their fix applies an anti-stick agent at the port site and sews the tough wall layer closed without the inner lining. One later patient treated with the new method stayed hernia-free. The team calls the step simple and safe for all patients.
